The Tour version is a bit shorter front to back (with a deeper face).įinally, the PowerBow creates what Nike has called “Max Back CG.” This – as is popular these days – moves the center of gravity (CG) down and back in the clubhead to increase leverage, expand the sweet spot, and resist twisting. The SasQuatch’s “PowerBow” and “Max Dimension” come close: the SQ is 4.7116 inches wide and a whopping 4.664 inches deep. On the irons and the hybrid, that piece of metal is called the “Slingback.” On the SQ, it’s called the “PowerBow.” The “PowerBow” – the appearance of which I’ll discuss later – does several things.įirst, it creates what Nike calls “Max Dimension.” According to Nike, the “trailing volume of mass apply more power and control to the ball without overstepping the 460cc limit.” In addition to the 460cc limit, the rules of golf state that a clubhead can’t be any longer (front to back) than it is wide (heel to toe). The SQ – like the Slingshot OSS irons and the Slingshot hybrid – pushes the weight back in a swooping grey piece of metal. The finish on the bottom of the SasQuatch makes a perfect mirror so that the girly men you’re playing with can check their makeup and hair when you blow a drive past them. NexTi is a “layered yet tightly compressed titanium that is thinner, lighter, and stronger than the current standard of Beta-Titanium.” Gone is the “pull-face” technology touted in the Ignite – we hardly knew ye! That starts with the face: like the Ignite, the SQ is built with what Nike calls “NexTi” titanium.
Read on to see what I thought of the driver that wasn’t used to win the 2006 Open Championship.īuilding upon the rather successful Nike Ignite, the SasQuatch has a lot in common with Tiger’s previous driver. I’m no Tiger Woods (or Michelle Wie), but I’ve given the SQ a thorough test. Of course, the average person knows only that Michelle Wie and Tiger Woods play the SasQuatch, and “Woods” and “Wie” carry a lot more weight than any individual product.
Only a few years after being dissed by Phil Mickelson as “inferior equipment,” Nike has built some incredibly well performing golf balls and clubs as well as a large stable of PGA Tour pros to use them.ĭuring the SasQuatch’s development, many believed “SasQuatch was merely a code name and that “SQ” or some other product name would be used upon release.
